A YOUNG woman allegedly drugged and raped by a man who passed himself off as a Swansea City footballer broke down in the witness box yesterday as she was questioned by a barrister.

A YOUNG woman allegedly drugged and raped by a man who passed himself off as a Swansea City footballer broke down in the witness box yesterday as she was questioned by a barrister.

The woman sobbed and called for an asthma pump as it was put to her that her story was nonsense and that she had wanted sex.

Swansea Crown Court has been told that Ismael Jobe, 34, who befriended Swansea City footballers and even negotiated entry for them into a local nightclub, has denied raping two women.

They both claim that Jobe, of Gendros, Swansea, who was in fact unemployed, boasted he was a professional footballer with the Swans, before drugging and raping them at his flat.

Yesterday, the second of Jobe's alleged victims was cross-examined about her allegations by Michael Chambers QC.

She claims she felt dizzy after Jobe mixed a vodka drink for her at his flat in April of this year. She says she went to sleep it off in the defendant's bed because she trusted him but she awoke to find him having sex with her.

Soon after she went to Swansea's central police station to complain she had been attacked.

Earlier in the evening the Swansea woman, in her 20s, had been drinking alcopops and vodka in the city's Jumpin' Jaks nightspot but says she was not drunk.

A friend of hers, the assistant manager of a city centre pub, told the jury at the time she was "tipsy" but not drunk.

She told the jury yesterday she bought a burger and chips outside the club and offered some to Jobe as they got into his car but he refused "because of his football".

She said, "He said he played for the Swans and could not eat it because it was too fatty."

The two went back to Jobe's flat in the defendant's car.

Mr Chambers said to the woman, "You fancied him didn't you?"

She replied, "No."

The barrister went on, "Michael Jackson's Thriller was playing on the TV, you had more to drink and you were in high spirits. You said 'come on let's go to bed'."
